Fort Lauderdale Pressure Washing cleans roofs with a soft-wash approach that treats algae, black streaks, and lichen without the high pressure that can crack tile or strip shingle granules. The Wilton Manors–based crew holds a 5-star Google rating from 13 reviews and covers 20 communities across the Fort Lauderdale area.
Roof algae spreads fast in Fort Lauderdale's heat and humidity — a roof that looks clean in spring can be streaked with black growth by the following summer. Fort Lauderdale Pressure Washing treats it with a soft-wash process: low pressure, a cleaning solution made for roofing material, and enough dwell time to kill the growth instead of just blasting the color off the surface, which is what a standard pressure washer does to a roof.
The business is based at 9 NE 19th Ct in Wilton Manors and works across 20 communities in the greater Fort Lauderdale area, with a 5-star rating built on 13 Google reviews.
Isn't pressure washing the fastest way to clean a roof?
High pressure strips shingle granules and can drive water up under tile, which is how a cleaning job turns into a leak. A soft-wash rinse works at a fraction of the pressure a driveway or a wall gets, relying on the cleaning solution and contact time to do the work instead of force. Tile roofs tolerate more pressure than asphalt shingle, but neither one benefits from a wand held a few inches off the surface.
Runoff gets rinsed away from planting beds as the job goes, since the same solution that kills roof algae isn't kind to landscaping if it's left to pool.
How often does a roof around here actually need cleaning?
There's no fixed interval — it comes down to shade, roof pitch, and how much of the day the roof sits wet. A steep roof in full sun sheds water and dries fast, so algae has less time to take hold. A shaded, low-pitch roof under mature trees stays damp longer and streaks sooner. Fort Lauderdale Pressure Washing checks the roof in person before quoting a timeline rather than working off a generic schedule.

Will pressure washing crack my tile roof?
Not with a soft-wash rinse — that's the point of using low pressure and a cleaning solution instead of force. High-pressure spraying is what cracks tile and lifts shingle granules, which is why Fort Lauderdale Pressure Washing avoids it on roofs.
How can I tell if my roof needs cleaning or a repair?
Black streaks and patchy dark growth are algae — that's a cleaning job. Cracked, lifted, or missing tiles or shingles are a roofing issue outside the scope of a cleaning visit and worth flagging to a roofer instead.
